Soul Surfer
We finally watched Soul Surfer the other night. I am glad that I was not expecting much because I would have been really disappointed. The movie was okay at best. Acting...two thumbs down, and as far as being a "Christian" movie...well if you consider mentioning God a couple times, having a Christian song in the movie, leaving Christ out of the scripture verse they quoted. etc. etc... luke warm at best!!! I am a bit disappointed by other Christian organizations recommending this movie. I shouldn't be surprised, luke warm seems to be the trend. So many missed opportunities in this movie...such a bummer!
Hope you watched it with Neal and not the girls- I still think the shark attack is very scary! Even though I said we liked it..... I've never understood the concept of "Christian" movies. They seem to always fail because they attempt to cross-over to the world for increased ticket sales. Alexandra has become a big Bethany fan (who in real life appears to be born again!) This might be my first comment on your blog!!
